Another week has flown by and I’m happy it’s Saturday.The sun is out and warming up.  My friend isin town for a visit and we’re having a good time. We invited some of our newer friends over to meet her and relax. Today we took her downtown to our Italian spot to grab some great food and now we’re back at the apartment ready to take a nap. Friends are awesome!

This week, I’m calling all my buddies out of state to say ‘hi’ and catch up with. I hope to convince a friend to come back for a visit. He’s a great guy and I’m hoping he’ll come during his school break. Some friends would come, but work schedules keep conflicting.
